If a Democrat wins the race for the White House, it's destined to be a historic year, with either the first African-American (not counting Bill Clinton) or first woman (not counting George Herbert Walker Bush) running the White House.

And the idea of a lady finally being on top has inspired us (and not just because we occasionally pay for that privilege).

We got to thinking about the ladies we'd like to run our country (even if it's just that imaginary one that's delineated by the four walls of our tree house).

Who would we pick and why?
